The Philadelphia Flyers opened the season with a 4-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks in the Czech Republic last Friday. They've had plenty of time to recover from the transatlantic journey, and according to Jakub Voracek the long layoff won't be an issue.

"Usually it is, to be honest," the 30-year-old Voracek said (of the layoff). "But if you watched today's practice, I think there was a high pace and I think everybody pushed pretty hard. We're going to skate (Wednesday morning) and we'll be fine."

The Devils are 0-1-1 on the season. They opened the season by blowing a four-goal lead to lose 5-4 in a shootout against the Jets and took a 7-2 loss at Buffalo last time out. They've struggled on the defensive end of the rink and are 4-10 in their last 14 games following a loss of three or more goals. The Flyers are 11-4 in their last 15 games as a favorite, and if they could beat Chicago on neutral ice they should handle New Jersey at home with ease.
